Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Austin, TX

Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.

Lifelong curiosity is key to my work as a therapist, with five years of experience providing counseling support for individuals and families and over a decade as an educator. There is nothing I love more than learning about people and helping to provide space for them to express themselves authentically.

I hold so much respect for anyone seeking therapeutic support for themselves or a loved one. My own mental health journey inspired me to help others, so know that I have been where you are. I am so grateful someone was looking out for me and encouraging this kind of care when I needed it most. That support proved invaluable for me, which is why I am so passionate about working with individuals exploring therapy for the first time. Taking that first step is not always easy, but I firmly believe the effort and vulnerability you put into this work is rewarded with meaningful growth.

Things have been hard lately, or maybe for a while. You aren't feeling like yourself and are wondering what needs to change to feel better. Maybe your mood feels out of whack, your attention or motivation is non-existent, or you're struggling just to do the normal everyday things without having a wave of emotion crashing down on you. Maybe there is trauma in your past you feel ready to process and move on from. Whatever the reason you are seeking help now, things can get better.

**Currently I am only accepting new clients for couples counseling.

I have always desired to be in the helping professions. I love people and care deeply about their emotional and relational health. I worked as a first responder while attending graduate school and got started in professional counseling at the start of Covid. I have discovered a love of working with couples and seeing their relational dynamics improved and restored!
